Ah well. There were worse ways to spend a Tuesday afternoon. It was good for me to get dressed and made up instead of sitting here in a tattered Manhattan College t-shirt , crap pants and fork-in-the-toaster hair. Not working has caused my personal standards to, um, slip a little. To none. I had no idea how simple no standards were until I descended, but it is very freeing.

I am a 50-something writer and I spend much of my time pretending I don’t have MS. I have limited success at that. The rest of the time I write, I read, I knit, I obsessively watch documentaries about the British Royal Family. Ok, just kidding about that last one. Sort of. It’s NOT obsessive. I am an inveterate Anglophile. I am grateful for my children, for my grandson and for my many, many wonderful friends. I think vodka is underrated as a coping mechanism. I adore my little dog. I wish I could marry Dick Cavett, Conan O’Brien and Bruce Springsteen. But not at the same time. And I realize two of them are out because they are already married. I said ‘wish’. Sheesh. But that still leaves Dick.

[JR: Found a Facebook identity "Marie Andriessen Cooper". She's not a Jasper. But, she writes well. Struck a chord with me. Passed it along for your consideration. Why would she be wearing an MC tshirt?]
